In order to understand this, students need to take a deep look into the history of the struggle Ukraine has had with its more powerful neighbors in its attempts to become independent.

NEW! Economic Interdependence & Globalization Geography Lesson
By Geography & Math Made Easy
How important is teaching globalization and economic interdependence?
Globalization and Interdependence describes the relationships of mutual dependence between all elements and life forms (including humans) within and across cultures, environments, and social systems. Today, more than ever before, globalization and interdependence are part of our everyday local lives. We are linked to others on every continent even if we don't realize it. We are linked through social media and telecommunications, the movement of people and ideas (culture), international trade, the environment as we share the planet, and through international political relations and regulations. The easiest way to teach interdependence no matter one's age is to address international trade. Help your students understand globalization and interdependence through this lesson Economic Interdependence and Globalization.
Note: This lesson has been reviewed by multiple geography teachers.
OBJECTIVE:
• The learner will understand the purpose of globalization.
• The learner will understand economic interdependence through international trade.
• The learner will be able to explain the difference between imports and exports.

NEW! Geography — Regions Simplified: Formal, Functional & Perceptual Regions
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Please Note: The instructor/teacher will need to know and understand the concept of REGIONS as this is a concept difficult for young brains to grasp. Even though we simplify it for students, we will need to be ready to verbally or visually explain the concept. Not all students are ready for this high-level concept. This lesson simplifies it as much as possible, but the concept, no matter how simplified, still requires high-level thinking skills and teacher guidance. It takes practice to identify the formal, functional, and perceptual regions. If the instructor/teacher doesn't understand regions, it will be difficult to instruct. This lesson is much better than our textbooks provide. Must be modified to fit your needs, this may mean omitting some of the activ_ities included in_ this lesson.
This is a group reading activity with a graphic organizer comprehension activity, an at-home interview assignment (Optional), and a Powerpoint for assessment.
Updated to Include a:
-Page Long Version of the Reading Activity
-Page Shorter Version of the Reading Activity

Help our students understand the complicated concept of "regions."
I often found when I was teaching the 5 Geographical Themes, students grasp location, place, human-environment interaction & movement (ideas, people, goods), but they struggle with regions: formal, functional, and perceptual.
What is the difference between a formal, functional, and perceptual region?
What is a nodal point? How can there be regions that cannot be measured and are specifically based on feelings and perceptions? Can all regions be found on a map? Do they always have a clearly defined boundary?
This PowerPoint provides 7 scenarios in which students are required to decipher whether it is a formal, functional, or perceptual region. You can use it as an introduction or review. You may implement this in different ways.
INCLUDES:
o Detailed Teacher Instructions
o Intro Video Suggestion
o Intro Reading Activity
o Graphic Organizer Activity + Answer Sheet (Puzzle)
o Powerpoint Game
o Extension Activity
OBJECTIVES:
o The Learner will understand the concept “region.”
o The Learner will determine the difference between a formal, functional, and
perceptual region.
o The Learner will be able to identify a formal, functional, and perceptual region.
MATERIALS:
o Technology to have students watch the suggested intro video.
o Student Group Reading Assignment (Included)
o Technology to display material for the class to view & discuss
o Paper & timer to create a list needed for the reading activity (Action 1: Listing Game)
o Atlases for each group needed for the reading activity
o “Can You Identify the Type of Region?” PowerPoint Review Game (Included) & technology to show it
